There was a lot of fun and excitement around the building today as costumes came on and parties started. Thank you to our teachers, support staff and parents for helping make the celebrations fun for our kids!
We had a great turn out at our Trunk or Treat last night! Thank you PAC and all of our families who showed up, decorated their cars and handed out candy. Despite the rainy, cold weather, it was a very fun event!
We hope our families that celebrate Halloween have a safe and joy-filled night tonight as you trick-or-treat!
Hello from the HV PE Team!
Did you know that eating breakfast has some really amazing benefits for school-aged kids? A recent American Academy of Pediatrics study showed that breakfast eaters have better brain function, memory and attention. Eating breakfast improves kids performance on vocabulary tests, math problems and challenging mental and physical tasks. It also helps them deal better with frustration. Our cafeteria now serves any/all students free breakfast before school starting when the doors open at 7:30. Thank you for working with us to ensure all our students get their day off to a good start with breakfast, either at home or in the cafeteria before school.
Students spent October tackling our amazingly popular NInja Warrior course, while also tearing up the track during Mileage Club on Wednesdays. Can you believe our students have walked/run a total of almost 1,700 miles through just five weeks!? We spent the last couple ninja warrior sessions with the lights out and disco lights on. Kids were sweating through their shirts! It was a blast! This unit had a special emphasis on heart health, including how to check your heart rate, while giving students some simple strategies to keep their hearts happy and healthy. We also had an emphasis on the character trait of the month, Respect - respecting the course, the equipment and their peers as they made their way around the course.
We are looking forward to working on some individual fitness related skills in the coming weeks, like yoga and jump rope. We are also excited to kick off our 4th and 5th grade FourSquare tournament during lunch recess next week!
Please remember to have your kiddos wear proper, active footwear on their PE days. All students have PE on Wednesdays, as well as two other times per week! Thank you for helping us to keep our students safe!
